No. You moron,
Neil's daughter and wife died about 10 months apart. This is a true story of man trying to save his own life.
In less than a year, Neil Peart lost both his 19-year-old daughter, Selena, and his wife, Jackie. Faced with overwhelming sadness and isolated from the world in his home on the lake, Peart was left without direction. This memoir tells of the sense of loss and directionlessness that led him on a 55,000-mile journey by motorcycle across much of North America, down through Mexico to Belize, and back again. He had needed to get away, but had not really needed a destination. His travel adventures chronicle his personal odyssey and include stories of reuniting with friends and family, grieving, thinking, and reminiscing as he rode until he encountered the miracle that allowed him to find peace.

Neil Peart internationally best-selling author, lyricist and Hall of Fame drummer for the legendary band "RUSH" gives rights to his bio "GHOST RIDER" to Buddy Rich's daughter Cathy.
Las Vegas, NV (PRWEB) Cathy Rich, daughter of legendary jazz drummer Buddy Rich has acquired the
film and television rights to produce the Neil Peart bio "GHOST RIDER"
through her production company Scabeba Entertainment. The Drainie-Taylor biography prize finalist was also chosen as one of the five most exceptional biographies of the year.
Neil Peart, internationally best-selling author, lyricist and Hall of Fame drummer for the renowned rock band RUSH, is the most successful band in Canadian rock music. RUSH has recently made history by becoming the first band to celebrate 30 years together with the original members and they are currently on the RUSH 30th Anniversary World Tour.
"GHOST RIDER" is a bold, brilliantly written, intense, exciting, and ultimately triumphant narrative memoir from a gifted writer and musician, who started out as a man reduced to trying to stay alive by staying on the move. Within a ten-month period, Neil Peart suffered family losses so devastating that they left him a ghost, physically a man, but with nothing.
Rich states that she is "thrilled and honored to have the opportunity to collaborate on such an inspiring story of personal triumph". Rich and Peart became friends in 1992 when Neil appeared on the Buddy Rich Memorial Scholarship concert, in his first foray outside of RUSH. They also collaborated on the Grammy-nominated CD's "Burning for Buddy", parts 1 and 2.

I wonder who they would get to play Neal, or would he do it himself, or would the movie be BASED on the book and the character would not have any relation to Peart at all. Would they change the names, etc.

Sorry to break your bubble. If you read Roadshow, Neil's latest book, he clearly states that the project is something he never really wanted to do (and why would he?, hey lets drum up my worst nightmare for a movie) and has been cancled. He talks with Cathy (Buddy's daughter) at a show and pretty much nixes the project. He also alludes that he is not too crazy about Kathy.
